You mean, the hearing impaired guy acted like he couldn't hear you? To think....
Acted dumb.... Not the most considerate choice of words under the circumstances, but are you aware of the etymology? The historic term "dumb", as in "deaf and dumb", later evolving into "deaf and mute", refers to the fact that some hearing impaired people are unable to talk.
So you hate the police, and didn't do the responsible thing and call them. Instead you and your boyfriend decided that, since the guy looked "easily intimidated", to intimidate him.Quoting Cher07
You mean, the hearing impaired guy again acted like he couldn't hear you? I'm shocked.Quoting Cher07
Because he looked easily intimidated.Quoting Cher07
So rather than letting this guy call the police, your boyfriend committed a criminal assault, among other possible offenses, because you don't want to involve the police in, say, investigating alleged crimes and confronting alleged offenders (who you prefer to intimidate).Quoting Cher07
Because when you've already committed a crime, why not "double down".Quoting Cher07
This would be what they call "self-defense". I realize that you think the hearing impaired guy should have realized that, after twice battering him and intentionally trying to prevent him from calling the police, your boyfriend was apologizing, but funny a funny thing about hearing impairments is that they prevent people from hearing everything.Quoting Cher07
Or, more like, you attacked the guy screaming something like, "Stop hitting my boyfriend". Which he probably couldn't hear, because he's hearing impaired.Quoting Cher07
You mean, wow, the police were able to quickly determine that you were dead wrong, and that your hunting this guy down, your attempts at intimidation, and your boyfriend's two unprovoked batteries were completely unjustified? The police can do that? I can see why you hate them so much.Quoting Cher07
And likely to his disgust, you were let go.Quoting Cher07
That's hardly a surprise. You said that your boyfriend started the fight. Twice.Quoting Cher07
The first blow: "my boyfriend push the phone away and grasp him by shirt"Quoting Cher07
The second blow: "my boyfriend shoved him down along with the bike."
You mean, thinking that you can confront somebody in the street, intimidate them, and batter them when they don't give you their bicycle? Yes, that was a mistake. Not quite as big as the mistake of thinking that a world-class kick boxer would be "easily intimidated", but still pretty darn big.Quoting Cher07
When you accost somebody in the street and engage in two acts of battery, and forcibly prevent him from using his phone (whether to call the police or to communicate with you), that's not a particularly surprising outcome.Quoting Cher07
The nerve. He's hearing impaired, and yet he still has money?Quoting Cher07
You mean the guy you needlessly confronted, twice battered, and demanded turn his bicycle over to you, because you hate the police? Then tried to prosecute for defending himself? He didn't feel sorry for you?Quoting Cher07
Well, here's a wild guess: Because you and your boyfriend confronted with the intention of intimidating him and battered him in an attempt to force him to give you his bicycle, while nothing would have happened had your boyfriend not battered him or if you had the good sense to call the police and learn, non-violently, that the bicycle was his.Quoting Cher07
